-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Tue, 20 May 2003 20:54:06 +0100 Source: apt-spy Binary: apt-spy Architecture: source i386 Version: 3.0-1 Distribution: unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Stephen Stafford <bagpuss@debian.org> Changed-By: Stephen Stafford <bagpuss@debian.org> Description: apt-spy - writes a sources.list file based on bandwidth tests Closes: 119918 134538 137001 144311 150205 153755 154546 165629 193166 Changes: apt-spy (3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low . * All new source! Total rewrite, so all new bugs to find! :) * New features in this version include: - Ability to only benchmark mirrors from a given geographical region (Pertains: #119918) This means (in part) that if you want to, you can define your very *own* "Primary mirror list" easily and quickly :) (Closes: #134538) - The -d <dist> option is now *required* before apt-spy will overwrite sources.list. It proved entirely too difficult to parse the distribution to use from the existing list (many people have multiple distributions in there, and it's not easy to decide which to use), but it will now NOT overwrite your sources.list with the WRONG distribution (unless you are silly and tell it the wrong one :) (Closes: #119918) - This version no longer outputs an outdated version string. (Closes: #153755) - We no longer add outdated external repostories to sources.list (Closes: #193166) - setting -e 1 now will do the Right Thing (Closes: #165629) - No longer limited to a 10Mbit max throughput (Closes: #154546) - Totally different sourcetree shouldn't segfault (or at least, not in the same places :) (Closes: #150205 #139220) - Should now deal with an edited mirrors.list (although defining your own "area" is more robust). (Closes: #144311) - There are far more informative error messages if we have problems with retrieving either the mirror list during an update, or whilst benchmarking any of the servers. There may be *similar* bugs to this one in 3.0, but the OLD bug has gone :) (Closes: #137001) * I would like to state, on record, my undying gratitude towards Steven Holmes, who wrote this version of apt-spy for me as a favour. After Danny (who wrote v1.x and v2.x) became too busy with life to look after it, it was looking like I was going to have to ask for its removal (for chronic bugginess) since I certainly didn't have the time to do a full rewrite. Steven stepped in, even though he is a BSD whore these days, and has done an utterly wonderful job of the rewrite. Thanks steg, I owe you a pint (well, two pints since I managed to get the BSD whore dig in :) Files: 869d8ba2d7dd4ee011ade15a145167bc 573 admin optional apt-spy_3.0-1.dsc aa50413599c6fa47bec47f76937c43dc 33866 admin optional apt-spy_3.0.orig.tar.gz 851f6fb0e8831118afc4c137642acab9 11102 admin optional apt-spy_3.0-1.diff.gz c06571d938d292bf94d60e3392717696 23198 admin optional apt-spy_3.0-1_i386.deb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+ypjkFwmY7Xa4pD0RAqj0AJ9kTZk4jKMOiUt3jdPD8E3wss2NPwCgjWjW UWwfDvFseLrx+p6nOpc6+jE= =ZTSm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Accepted: apt-spy_3.0-1.diff.gz to pool/main/a/apt-spy/apt-spy_3.0-1.diff.gz apt-spy_3.0-1.dsc to pool/main/a/apt-spy/apt-spy_3.0-1.dsc apt-spy_3.0-1_i386.deb to pool/main/a/apt-spy/apt-spy_3.0-1_i386.deb apt-spy_3.0.orig.tar.gz to pool/main/a/apt-spy/apt-spy_3.0.orig.tar.gz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-changes-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
